SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,803, dated October 18, 1887.

Application filed March 2-2, 1587.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE ARTHUR SrRIoK- LAND, of the village of Lakefield, in the county of Peterborough, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, gentleman, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Sleighs, of

v which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to connect the runners of a sleigh to its body in such a manner that the runners will pass over obstructions without perceptibly tilting the body of the sleigh; and it consists, essentially, injournaling each runner upon a single aXle attached to the sleigh-body, the opposite end of which is supported by a bar centrally pivoted to the body and pivoted at its ends to the runners, substantially as hereinafter more particularly explained.

The drawing represents a perspective view of a sleigh constructed in accordance with'my invention.

A is the body of the sleigh, upon the bot Serial No. 231,963. (No model.)

runner 0 works on its aXle B, independent of 30 the other, and in passing over ruts or small obstructions the body A will not be tilted in the same manner as it would were the runners O rigidly connected to it.

What I claim as my invention is- The runners O, journaled on the axle B, in

combination with the crossbar D, pivoted, as

at I), to the body A and to the runners 0, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

GEORGE ARTHUR STRICKLAND.

In presence of- O. W. SAWERS, CHARLES E. BALDWIN.
